John Ross Ewing III is a fictional character from the CBS primetime soap opera Dallas. The character is scripted as the son of J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen Ewing, born onscreen on April 6, 1979. The character's name was given to him from both his father (J.R. Ewing) and his paternal grandfather, Jock Ewing. Omri Katz prominently played the role in the series from 1983 until its conclusion in 1991 and the subsequent follow-up movie Dallas: J.R. Returns. In 2011, the role was recast and actor Josh Henderson portrays the character in the continuation of the show.

The character appears on-screen as an infant on September 21, 1979 in the episode, "Whatever Happened to Baby John?, Part 1" portrayed by Tyler Banks. From 1983, the role was played solely by young adult actor Omri Katz, who played the character until the series conclusion in 1991. Katz also appeared in the reunion film for the series Dallas: J.R. Returns, reuniting him with several former castmates from the original series. With the decision to continue Dallas on the TNT network, plans to recast were confirmed.

In February 2011, the role was recast and actor Josh Henderson replaced Katz in the role of John Ross, who portrays the character in the continuation of the show. The character's love interest, Elena Ramos, is played by actress Jordana Brewster, known for her work on As the World Turns and The Fast and the Furious film series.

John Ross Ewing, III is the son of J.R. Ewing and his first wife Sue Ellen Ewing. He is born in Dallas, Texas in 1979, at the end of the second season of Dallas. During her pregnancy, Sue Ellen drinks heavily and J.R. eventually places her in a sanitarium, but she continues drinking and escapes, only to be in a car wreck shortly afterward from intoxication. After emergency surgery is performed, the baby is born prematurely. His grandfather, oil baron Jock Ewing, names him John Ross Ewing, III after himself and his eldest son J.R. Priscilla Duncan, a hospital patient who loses her own baby, briefly kidnaps John Ross before returning him to his family. John Ross comes home to Southfork and is loved overwhelmingly by his family except for his mother, who is experiencing post-partum depression. During this time, Pamela Ewing becames a mother figure to John Ross after she learns she is unable to have a baby. J.R. also shows little interest in the child because Sue Ellen had an affair with his nemesis, Cliff Barnes, and claims that he is John Ross' father. Eventually Cliff sues for paternity rights. However, blood tests reveal that J.R. is the father, and he enthusiastically connects with his son. John Ross is always called by his full name unlike his father and grandfather, who are called by their nicknames J.R. and Jock respectively.
